Chicken Taco Filling
Method
Preparation and Assembly
- 1
Cook the Chicken
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

Season the Chicken
Shred the cooked chicken using two forks. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning.
